I was sick recently with a stomach problem. The doctor said I could only drink clear liquids for a while. This made me think about the word “diet” in a new way.
I told you before about the word “diet” and similar words. This time, I want to tell you a new way I found to follow my diet without giving up tasty foods. It may seem strange, but it makes sense.
When we eat, we enjoy it with our senses of taste, smell, and texture – the senses in our mouth and nose. We don’t get much enjoyment from swallowing and digesting the food.
So even if you chew food but don’t swallow it, you still get most of the enjoyment of eating!
I got this idea from reading about artificial intelligence creating new recipes by analyzing flavors and textures. Human chefs then helped make the new dishes. Some examples are:
Indian Spiced Spanish Rice Salmon Quiche (French dish with Scandinavian twist) Savory Apple Pie (not sweet)
The most important thing I learned is that the real pleasure of eating comes from the mouth and nose sensations. Professional food tasters don’t swallow what they taste.
Tasting is separate from swallowing and digesting the food.
That’s how I came up with the idea of my “no swallowing” diet, which helped me recover! Sometimes reading about new ideas with an open mind can lead to surprising solutions.
I hope you also find inspiration from exploring fresh concepts.
See you next time

私立学校に英語教師として勤務中、40代半ばに差し掛かったころ、荒れたクラスを立て直す策として、生徒に公言して英検1級に挑戦することを思い立つ。同様の挑戦を繰り返し、退職までに英検一級（検定連合会長賞）、TOEIC満点、国連英検SA級、フランス語一級、スペイン語一級（文科大臣賞）、ドイツ語一級、放送大学大学院修士号などの成果を得る。
アメリカで生徒への対応法を学ぶ為に研修（地銀の助成金）。最新の心理学に触れた。4都県での全発表、勤務校での教員への研修を英語で行う。現在も特別選抜クラスの授業を全て英語で行っている。「どうやって単語を覚えればいいですか？」という良くある質問に答える為、印欧祖語からの派生に基づく「生徒には見せたくない語源英単語集」を執筆中。完成間近。常日頃洋書の読破で様々な思考にふれているが、そうして得た発想の一つを生かして書いた論文がコロナ対策論文として最近入賞。賞品の牛肉に舌鼓をうっている。元英検面接委員
